Tartt is an amazing author. Her descriptions of settings did so much to influence my perceptions of the characters. Richard from Plano, arriving in this rich new intellectual environment. Makes you happy for him. And oh how it went wrong.
I think I'm as confused about my feelings for Henry as Richard is. Is it because against the dark backdrop of all the corrupted characters, he's somehow incorruptible? Even though he's responsible for multiple murders?
Richard's words with Camilla on the train platform broke my heart.
This book also made me want to read more Marlowe thanks to the references at the end. Dr. Faustus is next.
